Kaadhal konden Kanavinai valarthen
Kanmani unai naan Karuthinil niraithen

Unakae uyiraanen Innaalil enai nee marandhayae
Nee illaamal edhu nimathi Nee thaan endrum en sannidhi

Kannae kalaimaanae Kanni mayilena
Kanden unai nanae Andhi pagal unnai naan paarkiren
Aandavanai ithai thaan ketkiren

Raariraaro oraariroo… Raariraaro oraariroo

Song Meaning & Analysis

This sad rendition of "Kanne Kalaimaane" from 'Moondram Pirai' poignantly captures the protagonist's deep anguish and despair. The song is sung by the male lead, S. Cheenu (Kamal Haasan), as he grapples with the heartbreaking reality that his beloved, Bhagyalakshmi (Sridevi), has regained her memory but has completely forgotten him and their shared past. His love, which he nurtured as a dream and filled his very being with, is now unreciprocated due to her amnesia, leaving him in a state of profound loneliness and longing.

The lyrics express his utter devotion, declaring her his life and sanctuary, while lamenting her forgetfulness. He recalls her beauty, comparing her to an artistic deer and a virgin peacock, and his constant yearning to see her, even as he prays to God for solace or a return to their past. The lullaby-like refrain, "Raariraaro," usually associated with comfort, here underscores his deep sorrow and the irreversible loss, making it a lament for a love that once was, now lost to the cruel hand of fate and memory.
